V3-INs are identified by co-localization of |
Distribution of V3-IN cell bodies in the spinal cord. |
V3-INs are descending, bilaterally projecting cells. Kaede was expressed in |
V3-IN activity is temporally correlated to fictive locomotion. |
Targeted ablation of V3-INs is both efficient and spatially restricted. |
Targeted ablation of V3-INs does not affect burst frequency during spontaneous fictive locomotion. |
Spinal neurons loaded with rhodamine-2 AM dye are definitively identified as MNs. |
V3-IN laser ablation reduces the proportion of MNs that are active during fictive swimming. MNs in |
